Hannah Albritton

She/Her/Hers

Hannah received her undergraduate degree at Belhaven College in Jackson, MS where she majored in biology. Following college, she received a Master of Science degree in microbiology at Southeastern Louisiana University. She then attended medical school at Louisiana State University School of Medicine, where she participated in the joint MD/PhD program. Hannah completed her PhD with a focus in humoral response to Chlamydia trachomatis infections in women, which resulted in multiple peer-reviewed journals, multiple abstract publications, and an award-winning poster. Hannah has a strong interest in teaching and throughout her medical and graduate school education, she was a coach for multiple Science Olympiad teams, participated with the Science Teaching Partnership program, led TBLs for undergraduate students, and tutored medical students. Her hobbies include reading, soap making, baking and cooking, crocheting, gardening, yoga, and event planning
